WARNING there's a WOLVERINE

RUN AMOK on WOL

he's eating all the bunnies up

and screaming LOL

 

He's DeconstructingPOets

and HE HATES us all to BITS

he's MEAN and Cruel and UGLY

and he's getting on my nerves

 

He's got a trunk and everything

and really smelly breath

he says his name is WOLIVE

and he's scaring me to DEATH

 

he's pretty keen on numbers

cos he says he's good at MATH

but with his nasty beady eyes

he must be a PSYCHOPATH

 

he's INFILTRATED everything

he's in my wolrepos

he's defined my wolgroupmessage

and I think he ought to

GO!!!!!

WOL goes NUTZ

◄ on waking

Science and art come together in a poetic fusion, a merging of two worlds of words, encoding the life of our site and our community. Brilliant riff.
This is what Write Out Loud is all about. Thank you Ann.

But of course now the bug is fixed - this poem makes no sense whatsoever! We obviously need more glitchy bugs on WOL - great when you are struggling for an idea for a poem! Thank you!! And. . . . Goodnightxxxx

Yes writing this was so much fun
Once I had found me specs
I enjoyed it just as much
As I used to enjoy . . . crochet :)

Of course I did it on purpose! Honestly - what are you all like!! That's why the writing is a delicate shade of pink :)

BTW - I was assuming that you'd done the WOL/LOL and Bits/Nerves (no tits) on purpose ??
so am I (like)an effin ijit or are you a poetry-like Goddess ? Hmm?

Well, I'll go to't foot of our stairs, I will. Michael has actually offered a comment, after years of his words being the raft on which all of ours float.
See what wonders your poetry can evoke, Ann?

Hi,
I am one of the two lead developers of WOL jointly leading a team of two (me and him). And in all my years I have never had a poem written about a bug, for this I thank you. In the five years of WOL I have never contributed to the content of the site but when someone cares enough to write a poem like this I feel move.
M
P.S. This box is too small I will make it bigger.

I'm certainly not missing arguments. Civilised debate, enlightening discussions, educational repartee maybe - arguments - never. Can I start a campaign:

"SAVE THE WOL WOLVERINE!"

(Sorry to hog your poem Ann, very amusing and topical!)

Regards,
A.E.

Incidentally the wolverine is a member of the weasel family, so it would be "musteline" and not "vulpine."

Hey, don't fix it too quickly or me and Debora's poems won't make no sense!

All right, all right, show's over, settle down at the back. the developers are working on the site and this is clearly causing some vulpine hiccups.
what you are seeing is the gubbins that makes the site work, the thought processes of software engineers, revealed to you for your entertainment and delectation and... and... by accident really.

A net won't do. We need a GUN! Or we could dig one of those pits - with spikes in the bottom!

Ha - this problem is getting worse - has anyone tried looking at users on line?

We are all listed as missing arguments - there is some uncanny truth in that....

I've spotted him too, Ann. That's a good way of fighting back! Of course, Isobel is quite right about tits. You can't be discreet with these creatures

Can I just say that from a linguistic point of view - tits would have been better than nerves.

Well done Ann! Very amusing :))x
